Greetings!
This article has made it's rounds on Facebook and the like, but if you haven't seen it, it is truly fascinating. The bodies of twenty-one German soldiers were entombed in a trench that was recently found and excavated. Found intact were helmets, guns, various personal items and even a bit of newspaper. An explosion buried the men who were entombed in the positions they died - much like Pompeii.
Here is a link to the article at the Daily Mail:
